[font "Lucida Console"][#ff4040]Anybody else here watch the Deadliest Catch on the Discovery channel? It's always the same thing over and over, but my wife and I can't seem to get enough of it. For some odd reason we are always glued to the TV to find out how many crabs will be in each pod.[/#ff4040][/font]

Myself and my 4 year old watch it religiously. Same as you, can't get enough!

[font "Lucida Console"][#ff4040]hahaha...I feel like I know them too! I watch the replay whenever I can too. Even though I've seen it before it's still interesting. I like Sig...he seems to catch a ton of crab![/#ff4040][/font]

My wife just told me Tuesday night that I got her hooked on that show. Did you see the guy fall overboard the other night? Man!!! That would scare the crap out of me! I prefer my 20' boat on Jordanelle, I feel alot safer. Seems like they can catch all the crabs they want up there in some places and nothing 20 miles away. I now know what it's like to be hooked on a soap opera [crazy]

My family is also addicted. We record every show (even the reruns) on the DVR. Its amazing how such a simple show can be so captivating. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one around that has this additction. LOL

Yes my family and I watch every week! We have the DVR set to get all the new episodes. Them boys are nuts! They seem to be getting some good weather so far this season. I believe the King season is almost over in the next few weeks the Opillio's start and I think thats when they have to deal with the ice and major weather problems. Should be interesting to see. For those of you who have watched for a few seasons, have you noticed that some of the boats that were on the show are not on there now? I believe they have sank 2 or 3 since the show premiered a few years back. I wonder which one is next!!!!

[black][size 3]I noticed on that program the other night, that one pot that they pulled up had 151 crabs in it. at about $25.00 each, that's almost 4 grand.[/size][/black]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]They make bunches of money, but working as crew on those boats is risky business.[/size]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]The owners of those boats really gamble on a good catch. Operating expenses must be huge.[/size]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]It's better now, since they work together rather the way was it was prior to this year, when it was every man/boat for himself.[/size]

I'm hooked every week and am glad each week is shown several times as the VCR missed taping this weeks show. Found it at 3 am yesterday morning though.
I had a friend in High school who's brother went up to try and get on one of those boats. He ended up doing charter fishing instead but it sounded crazy back then. After watching the show it's even worse then he said it was. The hours worked on the processing boats are just as bad without the great pay.

Never miss it! Just received a Northwestern coffee mug and t shirt in the mail.Got it for myself? Nope, for my wife!!! Those guys are like folk heroes.They get mobbed when they are out in public.The Maverick had a neat deal a while back where you could meet them at the dock in Oregon when they returned from fishing.They have daily logs on their website.The Northwestern, Maverick, and the Cornellia Marie each have their own websites now.

Hey do you know what their web address is.

Don't know the exact address, but if you go to the discovery channel website, you can find it through there.

Yes me and the family are hooked on it.
